Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QXF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The QXF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the QXF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QXF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QXF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the QXF file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QXF file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file QXF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the QXF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QXF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QXF to close. However, some background programs may block the QXF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
